Travel Literature
Travel writing which is valued as literature in its own right may be referred to as travel literature. Travel literature typically records the experiences of an author touring a place for the pleasure of travel. An individual work is sometimes called a travelogue or itinerary, but it is generally not written in journal format, with specific dates recorded, as in a travel journal.
